Verbatim response from Perplexity
Without insurance, an online psychiatrist typically costs about $100 to $400 per visit, with many services charging around $150 to $350 for an initial evaluation and $75 to $200 for follow-ups.[2][8]
A few concrete examples from popular services:
- Doctor On Demand: $299 for an initial 45-minute psychiatry visit and $129 for 15-minute follow-ups.[1][5]
- Talkspace: $299 for the initial evaluation and $175 for follow-up/prescription renewal every three months when paying out of pocket.[13]
- Brightside: $95/month self-pay for ongoing care, rather than per-visit pricing.[9]
- GoodRx Telehealth Marketplace: psychiatric virtual visits can start at $99 per session.[7]
If you want the cheapest option, subscription plans or marketplace visits are often lower-cost than traditional per-appointment psychiatry, but the total cost depends on visit length, provider credentials, and whether medication management is included.[3][5][11]
